A Scots student has told of being 'trapped in Chernobyl' during the height of the coronavirus crisis.
Alexandra Gilbert, who lives in Edinburgh, travelled to Ukraine last March just as the global pandemic hit.
The Queen Margaret University film student had planned to film a documentary on the famous site of the 1986 nuclear disaster following the hit HBO series, Edinburgh Live reports.
But with the pandemic escalating, Alexandra's pal pulled out just 25 minutes before their flight.

Edinburgh-based Alexandra Gilbert found herself stuck in Ukraine for over a month while working on her documentary Welcome to Chernobyl, after lockdown came into effect.
Fortunately, as a result of Ukraine’s own lockdown measures, she was able to return to the accommodation in Kiev that she had been staying in and continue to attend classes online, while also being able to gather some additional drone footage.

A new and less invasive treatment developed by Cancer Research UK researchers is safer than standard major surgery for early-stage rectal cancer, giving patients a better quality of life with fewer life-altering side effects, results from a pilot study show.
Results from the TREC trial show that a combination of local keyhole surgery and radiotherapy, rather than major surgery that removes the whole rectum, prevents debilitating side effects, such as diarrhoea, or the need for a permanent colostomy bag.

A new less invasive treatment is safer than standard major surgery for early-stage rectal cancer, giving patients a better quality of life with fewer life-altering side effects, a pilot study shows.
New research involving the University of Leeds shows that a combination of local keyhole surgery and radiotherapy, rather than major surgery that removes the whole rectum, prevents debilitating side effects, such as diarrhoea, or the need for a colostomy bag.
Patients reported a better quality of life with the new treatment, with less impact on their family and social life, and felt more positive about their body image and the way their bowels work.
